Went to see Chottogram Zoo with my grand daughter in a late afternoon. Weather was extremely hot and humid. I was more impressed with the scenic walk way around the zoo. The animals looked tired with the heat and humidity and who likes to live in prison. Only little space to live their life! Chittagong Zoo is a zoo in Chittagong, Bangladesh. With an area of 10.2 acres of land it is located about three kilometers north-west of the city, alongside at the entrance of Foy's Lake, opposite the foothills of the mountains of USTC Medical College. In 1988 initiative was taken to establish a private zoo at Foy's Lake for the purpose of recreation, education and research on zoo animals. It is situated at hilly land of Foy's lake, South-Khulshi, Chittagong. Later, on February 28, 1989 the zoo was opened for the visitors. Initially 4.90 acres of land was allocated by the Bangladesh Government, which afterwards increased to 10.2 acres. Some flatterers put several plaques of a government servant who seemed to be an administrator during the construction. Public toilets needed an entry fee!

Located in a beautiful place beside the biggest amusement park in Chittagong, Chittagong Zoo is one of the best Zoos in Bangladesh. It has an extensive collection of widely available animals, from Tigers to crocodiles, Ostriches, Bears, and many more. It also houses one of the rarest forms of Tiger, the “White Tiger.” It has one of the most extensive bird collections ever in Bangladesh. From Common to Rare, it's massive. It also has an enormous park area with children's rides and staircases around the mountain tops. Here are some of the pros and cons of this place: Pros: • Wide Collection of Animals • Staircases around the mountain tops • Offers children's rides • So many great views to see and enjoy • The ticket comes in very cheap Cons: • Needs proper maintenance • Most of the animals aren’t cleaned and fed very often • The place is also not very clean • The Mosque Inside is permanently closed • Not many guides around the place • No food stall inside, and food stalls outside are overpriced
